didn't some people also test a plate armor vest with archers equipped with the English longbow firing arrows that had the most deadly AP arrowhead design (I think it was taken from all 3 crusades, the French and their crossbow bolt head design, and this weird-ass design that was simple a long spike instead of an arrowhead)? one thing I lol'd about Agincourt was, yes, the muddy terrain. to add, I think it was during the crusades that arrow hails and medium range skirmishes were rampant since Saladin was frequently employing them.

The tests concluded that unless it's fired from point-blank range, longbow arrows had no effect on plate armour in general after 1350 unless it's a bodkin arrow. And even using this type of arrow, the actual wound on the wearer of the armour is negligible--the armour absorbed most of the damage already.This is why after 1350, archers switched from shooting the knights to shooting their horses. But even then, not everyone wears plate armour. You had to be extremely wealthy to wear plate armour, and there's no way your normal levy can wear that.

So? What are you trying to imply?Just because something is expensive, it doesn't mean it's effective--it's like how battleships were expensive to build and maintain during the Second World War, but actually obsolete against aircraft.

Like I said before, it was dropped after 2 volumes by original translator. She personally thought there was too much "skin" and fan service. Of course, for the people have stuck with it, you would know that the series starts getting good in volume 3 and then gets amazing in volume 4/5. Volume 1 and 2 were there to introduce the world and set up the meat of the arc.

no... I was asking if it was that expensive arrow that was fitted with various arrowheads, ranging from the small point for hunting and the big AP point for the archery. no need to be mad

Like you can't call this a. Twilight for guys without giving a valid argument or evidence that this is similar to twilight in any way,now if you were to give some reasons thats able to
convince me to why you think this is like twilight I might agree with you

florza dropped this series after translating 1 chapter, of course cannot be approved into full-fledged project. Not to mention that this series don't get spotlight very much such as, say campione or dxd, probably we'll need an anime to boost interest of this series.

Ah, how the wait for Volume 6 hurts. Wanna buy wanna buy wanna buy it so much once it comes out.

Bit off-topic, but I am enjoying 「千の魔剣と盾の乙女」 (Thousand to Aegis), another work by Kawaguchi Tsukasa, so much right now. The setting feels so much like old school RPG adventuring that it's nostalgic, the dynamic between Amarach, Elicia and Phil is hilarious and at the same time heartwarming, and the details included with the world building are a very nice treat just like in Madan no Ou to Vanadis. Can't wait for Nagi to join the party!

I think history sucks. That's why fantasy setting works best. Everything hard to explain can be categorized as magic. When the fiction involves politics, it's better to be entirely in the creator's own world with some elements from history, no need to be entirely true. Madan no Ou seems to do just that.

I read Parabellum before, I think it sucks. I regrets wasting time on that series because I love the cover girl. But that's my opinion.
